As of January 1, 2014, the whistleblower protection statutes in California were expanded. The laws have always prohibited employers from retaliating against employees who reasonably believed they were reporting violations of state or federal laws, rules, or regulations to a government or law enforcement agency. The new law extends this protection to employees reporting suspected illegal behavior internally to “a person with authority over the employee” or to another employee with the authority to “investigate discover, or correct” the reported violation; or externally to any “public body conducting an investigation, hearing, or inquiry.” The new law expands the protection to reasonably-believed violations of local (in addition to California and federal) laws, rules, or regulations.
